The venue

The Royal Automobile Club was founded in 1897 by Frederick Richard Simms and its distinguished history mirrors that of motoring itself. 10 years later, in 1907, King Edward VII awarded the Club the Royal title that it still holds to this day, sealing the Club’s status as Britain’s oldest and most influential motoring organisation.

The Older Road User Conference will be held in the stately Mountbatten Room. Overlooking Pall Mall, the room’s mirrored panels, marble fireplaces, chandeliers and sumptuous soft furnishings lend an air of prestige and elegance to any event.

If at all possible delegates are advised to travel by public transport, rather than by road.

By car: Pall Mall is a two-way street. A cashless parking system is now in place on Pall Mall and surrounding streets, whereby motorists pay by inputting their details, via a phone call or text message. Local car parks can be found at Spring Gardens.

By public transport: the nearest mainline railway stations are Victoria and Charing Cross. The nearest tube stations are Green Park on the Victoria Line, Piccadilly Circus on the Piccadilly Line and Charing Cross on the Bakerloo or Northern Line.

From Green Park tube, go east along Piccadilly, then turn right into St James’s Street and at the end, turn left into Pall Mall. From Piccadilly Circus tube, go down Lower Regent Street, towards Waterloo Place, and turn right into Pall Mall at the end. From Charing Cross station go towards Trafalgar Square, then turn down Cockspur Street, and continue past Waterloo Place.

Please note that the RAC Club has a strict dress code of jackets and ties for gentleman which will apply to delegates attending The Older Road User Conference.
